Very nice. Who built the cue?

Very nice. Who built the cue?

The blank was John Davis and everything was finished off by Paul Drexler " PFD Studios". Paul actually inlaid the ring work which kept the cue as a full splice.

I understand that Mr. Davis supplied Balabushka some blanks, and I see that folks still actively go after his blanks to take to other cuemakers for them to complete.

My question is why?

Is his blanks so far superior to anyone else?

I have seen some pretty great veneers from many cuemakers today, and frankly, I would be insulted if I built cues and you came to me with a blank from another maker for me to finish.

I understand why Balabushka did it, but when I see it today, I am a little lost.

Help?

With the quality of what is built today, the precision etc why does Balabushka cues still command they money get. I would say it is some of the same reason. Builders that don't want to use the Davis blank will find their own work. It is all good buddy.
